Book Your Vacation

Welcome to Maui Sands

Maui Sands is one of the original condo resorts in all of West Maui and it has retained a lot of the old Hawaii vintage feel of the 60's before the hotel boom.

Our ground floor 2 bedroom oceanfront vacation rental is only 12ft from the water! Not only will you see an unobstructed view of the ocean, you'll hear it, smell it and occasionally even feel it too! Our condo has undergone a complete $150,000 transformation into a modern, eco-friendly and hi-tech maui vacation home, with many amenities that you won't find in any other rental in this affordable price range.

Maui Sands resort fronts a very unique reef system which some argue has the most child-friendly calm waters of all of West Maui. There's a beach nick-named baby beach in Lahaina, that is popular with families because of the protected waters. It's water quality is quite poor however and pales in comparison to the crystal clear waters at Maui Sands. Please note: during high surf/swell situations, none of the Hawaiian waters escape the wrath of the Ocean.

You'll see abundant marine life at Maui Sands thanks to the Kahekili Marine Reserve that exists in front. It prohibits the hunting and capture of many species of Hawaiian fish which benefits snorkelers and animal lovers!

Eco-friendly and healthy

From Zero VOC paint and Organic cotton linens and towels to the most energy efficient technologies and design architecture, our goal was to make our condo a model for others to follow in terms of being as environmentally friendly & healthy as possible. Whatever energy use we weren't able to cut down on, we offset the greenhouse gases produced with carbon credits that went towards a wind farm construction project in Tamil Nadu, India.

We want our guests to feel good that they not only chose a vacation home that is good value and in a great location but also one that makes their vacation a little more earth friendly.

Humpbacks at Maui Sands

Whale watching meca at Maui Sands

In the waters between Maui and Molokai can be found Hawaii's highest concentration of humpback whales during the breeding and birthing season. The waters that border Maui Sands are part of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale Marine Sanctuary and constitutes one of the world's most important humpback whale habitats. It is the only place in US waters where humpback whales reproduce.

Whale Season is approaching and we have our live webcam setup to spot humpback whales on Maui between 3-4PM HST. If you spot one, please let us know!

Testimonials

Here are some testimonials sent by our guests.

We were so pleased in every way! The condo was so well stocked with all we might need. Loved the terrific snorkels and masks, the great stash of spices (dried and fresh), towels, soaps, cutlery, any and all cooking utensils, the "Best Of" guides. And your remodel/updating was really nice.

This property is awesome and it exceeded our expectations! I’m a travel agent (have been for 10+ years) and consider myself very picky. I looked at tons of condos to rent before I decided on this one. Not only did the condo look exactly like the pictures ,they have thought of every detail. Every detail!

My college age children think the condo is very cool and one of the kinds. We really enjoyed the ocean front and view from the lanai. Personally, I felt relaxing and peaceful when looking out to the ocean every morning and when returning to the condo in the evening to watch the amazing sunset. We have been to Maui

The condo was beautiful and sooooo much fun for all of us. I knew my family would appreciate that we were so close to the ocean. It was a doorway away. We really appreciated the snorkeling gear. My youngest daughter and I swam with a green sea turtle outside the condo. I will be sure and post a comment...

Our 3 week stay at your beautiful condo was absolutely "Paradise on Earth". From the moment we walked in your unit, we knew we would love our holiday in Maui. At first glance we saw the magnificent view of the turquoise ocean, glittering under blue skies, and heard the sound of the waves just outside your... moreClaire, from Collingwood, Canada

The renovations are all great and as far as we can see most things work really well and are very functional. The unit has worked out really well for our family of four. We certainly enjoyed your condo very much and would definitely consider renting it again if we visit Maui again... moreBuster, from Calgary, Canada

We had such an amazing time! It was so peaceful - all we could hear was nature: the sounds of the ocean surf and the little doves that would search for food in front of the lanai. The reefs out front made the water so calm that we felt completely comfortable getting our baby introduced to the water!... moreSonja, from Nelson, Canada
